Finally going to go with bottled co2 for my 36gallon, can anyone recommend some good places to get the tank, regulator and good diffusor/reactor. Thanks
going with bottled co2
- Thread starter nh5
- Start date
i was looking on ebay but i've heard reports of problems with certain regulators. I definately want to get a problem free one.
I bought my regulator/solenoid/needle valve set up from ADG in Houston. I bought my 5 lb. tank from Eheim. I got my brass check valve, co2 tubing and DIY reactor plans from Rex Grigg who, I understand, can also get you a quality regulator. I'd already bought my regulator from Jeff Senske at ADG, before I found Rex's site, or I'd probably have bought one of his.

first link could be a one stop shopping for all your co2 needs. rex grigg builds regulators and many people have them and love them.

i personally would look for a local welding shop to find a co2 bottle.

ok. well rex grigg offers great personal service. he makes sure you get what you need. the others is more like buy what you think is best.
Solenoid isnt a must but its nice if you want to turn your co2 off at night or want a ph monitor.
bubble counter isnt a must but is nice.

i definately want a solenoid and maybe a bubble counter. Mgamer any recommendations on a diffusor
I definitely agree with Mg here. I operate my solenoid and lights with the same timer as co2 is not necessary without lights on. Also, Rex is great to work with and extremely knowledgable.

I bought mine from Rex. I have no complaints he sells a quality product he is more than willing to support.
